RELIEVERS: BAL, LA, SEA, TAM, WAS pens

This week the column is about the Orioles, Dodgers, Mariners, Rays and Nationals usage and available skill sets.

Baltimore has a bullpen that is showing some life. Jorge López (RHP, BAL) has been the closer, and it has worked OK, despite his 9% K%-BB%.  López has not allowed a home run in 21 innings to date. Others have stepped up to bridge games to López:
